The Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum is one of the most important commercial bivalve species consumed in China. Evaluated metal burden in bivalve molluscs can pose potential risks to public health as a result of their frequent consumption. In this study, concentrations of 10 trace elements (Cu, Zn, Mn, Se, Ni, Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg and As) were determined in samples of the bivalve Ruditapes philipp...

organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides are likely to pollute lipid-containing food sources, like milk (3-5% fat), owing to their lipophilicity, thereby jeopardizing the benefits of milk as a health food. pesticide load in bovine milk may be from the leaching of pesticides persisting in the adipose tissue of the animal, or through direct contamination during milking or improper handling o...

We previously developed a new method for estimating intakes of environmental contaminants, called Estimated Ecological Daily Intake (EEDI), which is based on food consumption data. This method accurately estimates the intakes of food additives and contaminants and provides rough estimates of averages and distribution curves for the target population. By this method, we originally considered onl...

Background. Rice is the staple food for more than half of world’s population and a major source essential minerals. The objective present study was to determine metal distribution in common rice types before after soaking physical properties kernel. consumption used calculate estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ) individuals. Materials methods. Seven different from northern...

Concentrations of 6 organophosphate esters (OPEs) were determined in 60 indoor (ID) and outdoor (OD) dust samples collected from 20 homes Basrah, Iraq. From each home, two ID collected, one elevated surfaces (ESD) the floor (FD) living room; while OD front yard same house. Total Σ6OPEs concentrations ranged between 681 17900 ng/g with median 5950, 3590 1550 ESD, FD samples, respectively. Chlori...

From 2008 to 2013, the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis were collected from a major area of mussel production (Changseon area), which is a designated shellfish-cultivating area for export, located on the southern coast of Korea. The samples were analyzed for mercury (Hg) using a direct Hg analyzer and for other metals, such as cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), chromium, copper, nickel, and...

Thrace Region is a part of the Marmara Türkiye. There are many natural and artificial stagnant water habitats in region that used for irrigation drinking supply. This study intended to determine spatial-temporal variability probabilistic health risk fluoride exposure bodies region. A total 33 were selected, samples collected during dry wet seasons 2021–2022. The levels measured using spectropho...

The mean daily fluoride intake in infants was estimated on the basis of their intake of commercial foods for infants in Japan and evaluated in order to establish the effectiveness and safety criteria for water fluoridation, which is practiced as a preventive measure for dental caries suitable in life stages from children to the elderly. Based upon the intakes of foods for infants, the mean dail...
